	A tactic that has seen a surprising measure of success in play has been taking a Crisis Shas'Vre as Leader, a handful of footslogger Core to hold objectives, stay out of the way, and be a general nuisance, and three Crisis Shas'Ui (assuming a 250pt. list; YMMV based on your local meta requirements). With a weapon combination of a Flamer and Fusion Blaster, they can utilize the overabundant terrain prevalent in Kill Team games to stay out of the line of fire, using their turns to pop forward, blast the enemy into oblivion, and return to safety. Their 3+ and 2W keeps them alive and kicking under fusillades of Core units' fire, their flamers devastate light infantry, and they make unparalleled assassins of high-point, 2+ armor save units that tend to dominate the metagame. Sorry, Terminator lists! They tend to play on a somewhat more level playing field with vanilla MEQ lists, requiring more finesse to hold objectives and a more significant tactical approach, but excel at their function: staying alive, assassination, and laying waste to large numbers of low armor save units. This list makes Guard, 'Nids, and Ork players cry. Untested vs. Eldar.

	*'''Fire Warrior Shas'ui''': A basic fire Warrior Sarge, who can either grab his basic Pulse Rifle, a Carbine, a Pulse Pistol and CCW (Which is pretty dumb, even if you sprung for the Kodachi), or a Pulse Blaster and Field amp relay. He can buy the Bonding Ritual, EMP Grenades, Markerlights, the DS8 Tactical Support Turret, and 0-2 Drones. With the addition of the Twinlinked Rail Carbine for leaders and the XV05 armour, this once weak sarge can now stand strong with the best of 'em.		*'''Fire Warrior Shas'ui''': A basic fire Warrior Sarge, who can either grab his basic Pulse Rifle, a Carbine, a Pulse Pistol and CCW (Which is pretty dumb, even if you sprung for the Kodachi), or a Pulse Blaster and Field amp relay.

	*'''Pathfinder Shas'ui''': Slightly more expensive than the Fire Warrior Shas'Ui, but he gets Markerlights in his base cost for far cheaper. Aside from that, he gets the same upgrades, but can now buy either the Ion Rifle or Rail Rifle based on what you exactly plan on hunting. He's a bit better at being the support leader for a heavy army, but he's a bit more vulnerable in exchange. The other big downside is the loss of his special drones, though those losses are slightly mitigated by the cover-heavy terrain. He also forces you to grab Pathfinders as Core, which works to support his sniping work.		*'''Pathfinder Shas'ui''': Slightly more expensive than the Fire Warrior Shas'Ui, but he gets Markerlights in his base cost for far cheaper.

	*'''Stealth Shas'vre''': The current most expensive battlesuit Leader, but he doesn't grab as many options. He can only buy the Fusion Blaster if he plans on doing real big game hunting, and can only get support by 0-2 Drones, Markerlights, or the Bonding Ritual. While not quite as massive cost with the upgrades, he still is a big investment.		*'''Stealth Shas'vre''': The current most expensive battlesuit Leader, but he doesn't grab as many options.

While not quite as massive cost with the upgrades, he still is a big investment. If you do take him, consider a drone to make it majority Toughness 4.
	*'''Kroot Shaper''': For the same price as a Pathfinder Shas'Ui, you get a Kroot with Pulse Rounds, which are...not astounding. He can buy a proper Pulse Rifle or Carbine, but the better take should be the Sniper Rounds, so you can snipe out something in cover.		*'''Kroot Shaper''': For the same price as a Pathfinder Shas'Ui, you get a Kroot with Pulse Rounds, which are...not astounding.
